416.0. "Appropriate Behavior?" by DPDMAI::DAWSON (I've seen better times) Wed Jun 02 1993 10:40

    
    		Appropriate behavior while nude (and in company) is
    something I don't fully understand yet.  Is it ok to hug?  And if so
    what happens if physical reactions happens?  Being fairly new at social
    nudity I really don't have the social skills (while nude) to really
    enjoy the time.  Can anyone help with all this?  And what happens if
    you see and meet someone you like?  I would feel kinda outa sorts
    asking anyone out when these kind of things seem to be frowned upon.

    	I think it depends upon the setting.  Some places, such as gay
    head beach, are a little more liberal, and if you would like to hug
    and kiss your S.O. - I don't think anyone would even think twice.
    Sex on the beach on the other hand (not to be confused with the drink)
    isn't appropriate behavior.  I think if you run the risk of getting
    excited while sunning at a place like gay head, you run the risk of
    being embarassed, and thats pretty much it.  
    
    	Other places that I've been to however, such as Solair in CT are
    much more strict about PDA's (public displays of affection).  I've
    always thought that some places go overboard.  A public display of
    affection is as natural as bathing nude.  As it turns out, a hug or
    kiss (not sucking face mind you) in public is no big deal, and can
    be seen at places like Solair. 
    
    	Quite simply, a simple display of affection is no big deal, a
    sexual act, wether it be a kiss or whatever is a big deal.  
    
    	People who go nude do not want to be viewed as going nude for
    sexual reasons.  Seeing people having sexual contact spoils that
    image.
